A fan poll circulating online is asking MMA followers to weigh in on who should be Dominick Reyes' next opponent at light heavyweight, presenting three names for consideration: Jamahal Hill, Azamat Murzakanov, and Dustin Jacoby. The poll uses emoji reactions to collect votes and carries no indication that any of the potential bouts are under active negotiation or represent official UFC plans.
Reyes, 36, enters the conversation ranked eighth in the light heavyweight division with a professional record of 16-5. The American southpaw out of Teixeira MMA and Fitness stands six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach and lands an impressive 5.39 significant strikes per minute at 54 percent accuracy, making him one of the more dangerous strikers in the 205-pound class.
Hill, nicknamed "Sweet Dreams," sits at fourth in the division with a 12-4 record and is himself a fellow six-foot-four southpaw from the United States. At 35, he carries the highest striking output of the three potential opponents, landing 7.05 significant strikes per minute, though he has recorded no takedowns in his UFC tenure.
Jacoby, "The Hanyak," is the most experienced of the trio on paper, holding a 22-9-1 record at 38 years old. The orthodox fighter from Factory X stands six-foot-three with a 76-inch reach and lands 5.4 significant strikes per minute, closely mirroring Reyes' own output.
Why it matters
- A matchup with Hill at No. 4 would be the most significant ranking leap for Reyes at No. 8
- All three potential opponents are American strikers, meaning any version of this fight figures to be decided on the feet
- The poll reflects fan appetite for Reyes' return but does not signal imminent booking from the promotion
